Automotive ER&D: Navigating in a Digital World

Overview

India’s Automotive ER&D exports stood at ~USD 2.5 billion in FY2015, a 16 per cent share in India’s total ER&D exports. Third-party service providers dominate this market (~65 per cent share), GICs account for the balance. While cost arbitrage continues to be an important factor to offshore work to India, customers are increasingly demanding access to emerging markets, localize products and reduce the time-to-market. By 2020, offshored ER&D market for automotive sector will be between USD 15-17 billion with India’s share expected to grow to 45-55 per cent.
